i haven’t read through all these posts; there are too many. but has anyone presented the idea that these “three days of darkness” might be due to some sort of nuclear holocaust?

…that’s the first thought that came to mind.

Can a nuclear holocaust last exactly 3 days, no more, no less ?

I think that it is just Hard for you, and others to accept in your mind, that the end of the World is closer than you think.

:rotfl: Actually, I’d think just the opposite. You think there’s going to be grand warnings and fireworks before “The End”. I personally think I could keel over and die in the next two minutes. The end could come at any time and is probably going to be very unexpected for most like a “thief in the night”. The Church has constantly taught that we should guard against the thief in the night, keep oil in our lamps, keep an eye out for the bridegroom and most importantly “be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace” yet nowhere has it said to get those 51% blessed, beeswax candles.

Really, if you want to keep 51% blessed, beeswax candles, more power to you. Just don’t say that the TDoD is traditional Catholic teaching which was the original question. It’s not. It’s a private revelation that may or may not be true and/or symbolic. It certainly can’t, in good conscience be attributed to Padre Pio. People also need to take into account their sources for the TDoD. Look at the homepages of these sites. Most are way off base about everything else, Bayside included, and we’re supposed to jump on board with them? You, yourself have said that you didn’t agree with the “Aftermath” attached to most of the sites listed. How is it that you pick and choose that when all the sites give an aftermath that doesn’t jive with the Second Coming?

Go ahead and look for signs and wonderment. I plan on living as if the next time I see Christ face to face might be in the next two minutes and long before the Second Coming. While very imperfect, I try not to live like I’ve got time.

The effects would certainly last a lot longer than 3 days, right? unless someone all powerful stepped in…someone who likes the number 3 😉

Again, the sign will come AFTER the darkness. The TDoD “prophecy” says:
A luminous cross will appear in the sky, it will be the sign that the final events are close… and the night will be could, very, very could.

In Peter this happens after the darkness and tribulation and immediately precedes Christ’s arrival. In the TDoD the cross in the sky precedes the TDoD. Don’t you see the inconsistencies?!!!

Again, let’s look at this:
After the three days of darkness, St. Peter and St. Paul, having come down from Heaven, will preach in the whole world and designate a new Pope. A great light will flash from their bodies and will settle upon the cardinal who is to become Pope. Christianity, then, will spread throughout the world. He is the Holy Pontiff, chosen by God to withstand the storm. At the end, he will have the gift of miracles, and his name shall be praised over the whole earth. Whole nations will come back to the Church and the face of the earth will be renewed. Russia, England, and China will come into the Church

This is not what the Church teaches about the Second Coming of Christ. The TDoD has an aftermath!!!

Has the Church EVER said that the Three Days of Darkness and the Second Coming are one in the same!!!

“This is not what the Church teaches about the Second Coming of Christ.” Where can i find EVERYTHING the Church teaches about the Second Coming of Christ ?

That is…in a nutshell…the traditional Catholic teaching. Our Lord teaches this in many places and quite clearly…it won’t do much good to know when the end is…and then not be ready for our own end. The particular judgment will come before the general judgment for almost all of us.

The only thing I hear the church teach about the Second Coming of Christ is the Apostles Creed.
 
Some of these prophecys say 1/4 living and the rest dead, The Apostles Creed says( He will come to judge the living and the dead ).

Here’s a start for you newadvent.org/cathen/08552a.htm
I’m not concerned that I’m missing something that is contained in the TDoD that I might be missing in the teachings of the Second Coming. What I’m concerned with here is that the TDoD is contradictory to Catholic teaching on the Second Coming. The Second Coming is the final destiny of the human race. There no “aftermath” of the human race as told in the TDoD.

Have you read the TDoD “prophecies”? This is what we’re discussing here, right? Pick a link, any link and you’ll find the “aftermath” of the TDoD info there. I’ve already quoted it at least once.

. “The Sign of the Son of Man Appearing in the Heavens.”
In Matthew 24:30, this is indicated as the sign immediately preceding the appearance of Christ to judge the world. By this sign the Fathers of the Church generally understand the appearance in the sky of the Cross on which the Saviour died or else of a wonderful cross of light.

III. CIRCUMSTANCES ACCOMPANYING THE GENERAL JUDGMENT
  1. Time
    As was stated above, the signs that are to precede the judgment give no accurate indication of the time when it will occur (Mark 13:32). When the Disciples asked the Saviour: “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” He answered: “It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:6-7). The uncertainty of the day of judgment is continually urged by Christ and the Apostles as an incentive to vigilance. The day of the Lord will come “as a thief” (Matthew 24:42-43), like lightning suddenly appearing (Matthew 24:27), like a snare (Luke 21:34), as the Deluge (Matthew 24:37).
This does mention “Thief in the Night” as pertaining to the Second Coming:thumbsup: But no mention at all, one way, or the other, about TDoD:nope: :nope: :nope:

The only Aftermath is in the Apostles Creed when Jesus comes to Judge
the Living and the dead.

The Church Father agree with these prophesys I’m glad you showed me this.👍

I sure hope you see the light now!
But, are you saying in the bolded above, (these prophesys) are the ones you’ve been pushing as the TDoD?
 
All I’m saying is:
And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the THIRD
PART OF THE SUN was smitten, and the THIRD PART OF
THE MOON, and the THIRD PART OF THE STARS, so that
THE THIRD PART OF THEM WAS DARKENED, and the DAY
DID NOT SHINE FOR A THIRD PART OF IT, and the NIGHT
IN LIKE MANNER : Apocalypse. 8:12

AND

Matthew 24
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
IS = TDoD Agree or Disagree , Yes or NO what say you ???

👍 Yeah! you got that right, the dope you have been pushing, it sure could be damaging to young Catholics.:eek: It’s one thing to express your opinion on private prophecies, unapproved by the Church, is another thing.👍
